Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Dice the ham and Vidalia onions. Shred the American cheese if not already shredded.

  2. 2

    Beat the Eggs

    In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with salt and black pepper until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cook the Onions

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced Vidalia onions and sauté until they are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Ham

    Stir in the diced ham and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  5. 5

    Add Eggs

    Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, ensuring they cover the ham and onions evenly. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Add Cheese

    Once the edges begin to set, sprinkle the shredded American cheese over one half of the omelet.

  7. 7

    Fold the Omelet

    Carefully fold the omelet in half, covering the cheese. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully set.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Slide the omelet onto a plate, cut it in half if desired, and serve hot.
